His family is his happiness. Why would he ever want to lose this?
All his pride lost over one lonely, forgotten kiss.
All his emotions let out in terrifying screams and yells.
Why did he leave us? Of course, he'll never tell.
When he sees us, he pretends he hasn't been gone for so long.
He listens to his music; sings along with his favorite songs.
He turns it up louder, so the song gets stuck in my head.
I close my eyes tighter and hide in the corner of my bed.
He turns down the music; someone has called.
I can hear his laughter through the thin wall.
I listen closer. It's my uncle; they're going out tonight.
He doesn't say good bye, he just turns out the light.
My mom is her room, drinking away.
My brother's just too tired, too angry to play.
So I sit and cry, and let all my feelings out.
And try to think what their argument was about.
Then I start wondering: Do they feel this pain?
Does this hurt them at all, or is it just a game?
What will my new life be like? What will it hold?
And why is this happening? Will I ever be told?
I close my eyes tighter, even tighter than before.
Why is he doing this to me? I can't take any more.
He pretends he loves us. Why is he faking?
With each cold, miserable night, my heart is breaking.
Is this really happening? Is this my fate?
Can I stop him now, or is it already too late?
Never having to deal with this pain before,
It kills me inside, knowing he walked out the door.
I just sit here alone, disturbed and bothered.
This hurts so much. And now, without a FATHER.
